Avast! 'tis a grand time, a-jabbrin' -- as if ye were a pirate.
Curst be the fates that TLAPD fell on the Lord's Day o' this yearn.
It be more fun to cavort wit yer shipmates at work... than to get the evil eye from the old ball-n-chain. <img src="http://img6.mytheme.com/msn/emoticon/10 ... 712149.gif">

A little Pirate humor fer yur enjoyment.
Have you heard about the new pirate movie? It’s rated AARRRRGGH! And do you know why? Because of all the booty!
How much does it cost a pirate to get a piercing? A buck an ear!
Why did the pirate go on vacation? He needed some AARRRRGGH and AARRRRGGH!
How did the pirate stop smoking? He used the patch!
Did you hear about the pirate who scored 20,000 points for the Lakers? His name was Kareem Abdul JabAARRRRGGH!
What is piratophobia? Fear of a sunken chest!
What’s a pirate’s favorite country? AARRRRGGHentina!
What do you call a pirate that skips class? Captain Hooky!
What Star Wars character is really a pirate? AARRRRGGH-2 D-2!
What’s a pirate always looking for, even though it’s right behind him? His booty!
What does a gourmet pirate add to his dinner? A gAARRRRGGHnish!
How much did the pirate pay for his peg leg and hook? An arm and a leg!
What’s a pirate’s second favorite mode of transportation? A cAARRRRGGH!
So, um, what’s a pirate’s first favorite mode of transportation?” “A ship, duh.”)
What kind of socks does a pirate wear? AARRRRGGHyle!
What has 8 arms and 8 legs? Eight pirates!
A pirate walks into a bar with this enormous steering wheel stuck down his pants. The bartender can’t help but ask, “What’s with the steering wheel?” “ARRRRGGH,” the pirate answers, “it’s drivin’ me nuts.”
All the Best, Tom

To go even further afield --er, out to sea (yet on-off topic), this thread reminded me of the rendition of "Pirate Jenny" sung by Nina Simone. I've never heard it sung properly by a soprano, but I love Nina's version. So...just for fun, but also in honor of pirates and of Nina (she should rest in peace), here 'tis:
“Pirate Jenny
You people can watch while I’m scrubbing these floors
And I’m scrubbin’ the floors while you’re gawking
Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell
In this crummy southern town
In this crummy old hotel
But you’ll never guess to who you’re talkin’.
No. you couldn’t ever guess to who you’re talkin’.
Then one night there’s a scream in the night
And you’ll wonder who could that have been
And you see me kinda grinnin’ while I’m scrubbin’
And you say, what’s she got to grin?
I’ll tell you.
There’s a ship
The black freighter
With a skull on it’s masthead
Will be coming in
You gentlemen can say, hey gal, finish them floors!
Get upstairs! what’s wrong with you! earn your keep here!
You toss me your tips
And look out to the ships
But I’m counting your heads
As I’m making the beds
Cuz there’s nobody gonna sleep here, honey
Nobody
Nobody!
Then one night there’s a scream in the night
And you say, who’s that kicking up a row?
And ya see me kinda starin’ out the winda
And you say, what’s she got to stare at now?
I’ll tell ya.
There’s a ship
The black freighter
Turns around in the harbor
Shootin’ guns from her bow
Now
You gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face
Cause every building in town is a flat one
This whole frickin’ place will be down to the ground
Only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound
And you yell, why do they spare that one?
Yes.
That’s what you say.
Why do they spare that one?
All the night through, through the noise and to-do
You wonder who is that person that lives up there?
And you see me stepping out in the morning
Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair
And the ship
The black freighter
Runs a flag up it’s masthead
And a cheer rings the air
By noontime the dock
Is a-swarmin’ with men
Comin’ out from the ghostly freighter
They move in the shadows
Where no one can see
And they’re chainin’ up people
And they’re bringin’ em to me
Askin’ me,
Kill them now, or later?
Askin’ me!
Kill them now, or later?
Noon by the clock
And so still by the dock
You can hear a foghorn miles away
And in that quiet of death
I’ll say, right now.
Right now!
Then they’ll pile up the bodies
And I’ll say,
That’ll learn ya!
And the ship
The black freighter
Disappears out to sea
And
On
It
Is
Me."
